Horrible Noise
What do the cam-phasers sound like before they're ready to let go? I get a rattling noise at low idle when I start up the engine when it's hot. Let's say I drove 30 miles on the expressway, and then ran into the bank quick. When I come back out and start the truck up and cruise around the parking lot it rattles like a b***h. It's been doing this the past 5000 miles and has gotten progressively worse. When cold its always made a 2 second rattle upon startup which I believe is the lifters.

What oil filter are you using?

Could also be chain tensioner gasket bleeding pressure off, causing it to loose tension on the chains, you'd hear the chains clattering until oil pressure builds up

My '07 does the same thing. This is from the VCT solenoids. Mine has done it since I first bought it 5 years ago at 42,000. Currently with over 130,000 miles, still does it. No issues from it. This is not timing chain noise, although it can make you think it is. Happens from 800-1,200 RPMs.
Ford has came out with an updated solenoid to help with this issue. Part # 8L3Z-6M280-B. It's not mandatory that you replace them unless they start causing problems with misfiring at idle. |

If you had caught that 5000 miles ago, the news would be better. Phasers need 25 PSI to operate and they haven't been getting that. P.S. As you can guess, it's quite serious. |
Mine has been doing it during the 90,000 miles I've owned mine. I also have the minimum hot 25 PSI after a long drive at hot idle in drive. Never has gotten louder. Just need to keep an eye on it. If it begins to get a rough idle, need to have it looked at. Rough idle is a sign of either low oil pressure or blocked oil passage, clogged solenoid screens, etc. Anywhere below 20 PSI is usually where things begin to go south.

That's not good. Sounds like classic oil starvation due to your flimsy timing chain tensioners ending up in the oil pan and clogging the oil pump pickup.
